Rays Slip Again in Extra Innings | Tampa Bay Rays News

The Tampa Bay Rays are sliding, dropping seven of nine games and losing their three-game AL East lead after a heartbreaker against the Orioles. Despite Shane McClanahan’s strong return from injury and key runs from Liam Hicks, the Rays couldn’t hold on — blowing a late-inning scoring chance with a bunt that was snagged and thrown home. The Orioles capitalized with a walk-off pinch-hit double, sealing an 8-9 win in Baltimore’s latest sweep. Frustration is mounting, but players like McClanahan keep pushing forward, reminding everyone they’ve earned this moment — now they just need to finish what they start.
